Cooling Code and Insulation Liquid

No transformer is truly an ‘ideal transformer’ as each will incur some losses which gets converted into
heat. If this

heat is not dissipated properly, the excess temperature in the transformer has the potential to cause
serious problems

like insulation failure. The transformer requires a cooling system to prevent this from occurring.

• For Oil Immersed Transformers

• ONAN: Oil Natural Air Natural (Liquid with flash point < 300 C)

• ONAF: Oil Natural Air Forced (Liquid with flash point < 300 C)

• KNAN: Oil Natural Air Natural (Liquid with flash point > 300 C)

• KNAF: Oil Natural Air Forced (Liquid with flash point > 300 C)

The ONAN transformers can be operated with normal rating and ONAF with an increased rating of
approximately 25%.
